pure patriotism. What folly to believe that the mothers of the North or the South sent sons 
and husbands to meet death from other motives than heartfelt devotion to their cause. The 
good sense of the young people of to-day causes them to partially realize these facts, but the

old veterans are still often doubtful about publicly stating them. This is shown by the 
marriage of children of former enemies, and it is still more forcibly shown by the general 
favor accorded the now successful work of building the Confederate Home of Missouri.

POLITICS. 

^)ISSOURI was rich in talent and courage. Among the leaders of the Southern party 
were Governor Claiborne F. Jackson, ex-Gov. Thos. C. Reynolds, U. S. Senators 
Jas. S. Green and Trusten Polk, Gen. David R. Atchison, and others. These were called

“Secessionists,” and yet a perusal of their speeches made prior to the time when events forced

States, and would have preferred to remain in the Union if they could have done so without 
sacrifice of their principles. Next came the “Conditional Union men,” led by ex-Gov. Stewart, 
Sterling Price, John S. Phelps, Hamilton R. Gamble, B. Gratz Brown, Alex. W. Doniphan, 
Jas. S. Rollins, Wm. A. Hall, N. Paschall, and others—giants all, and most of them large 
slaveholders. And third came the “Unconditional Union” party, composed principally of

Frank Blair—“an erratic genius cursed with courage”—and about 10,000 St. Louis Germans. 
These were aided financially by a few patriotic business men of St. Louis, such as O. D. and 
Giles F. Filley, Jas. O. Broadhead, F. A. Dick, Barton Able, Samuel Simmons, and a few 
others who were determined to hold the city for the Union. But Mr. Blair was practically 
the party, and only a man of his desperate courage would have dared to organize one-tenth

of the population—and that tenth composed of the least warlike—against a people brave to 
recklessness and accustomed to bearing arms. Early in January, 1861, these bold spirits were 
reinforced by a company of regular infantry, numbering one lieutenant and forty men , sent by 
Gen. Winfield Scott, upon the urgent request of 
Isaac H. Sturgeon, to protect the sub-treasury. 

And now the question arises, why was this handful 
permitted to defy a great State ? They were called 
“Black Republicans,” and that party was believed 
to be responsible for all the'disorder from its affilia¬ 
tion with the “Abolitionists.” The reply is, Mis¬ 
souri was opposed to secession. Nine out of ten saw 
that to fight to preserve slavery in Missouri was to 
destroy it. Missouri was a section of slave territory 
surrounded on three sides by free States, casting a 
larger vote and possessing more military power than 
any other slave State. And besides, she then con¬ 
trolled the only lines of communication with Kansas, 

California, and the great West. Thus the Federal 
government would be forced to concentrate on two 

points—to defend Washington and to hold Missouri. 

....... .. ., , , . , COL. JAS. A. MULLIGAN, U. S. A. 

All this was clearly understood, as can be seen by 

reading the speeches of the time. Then the Cotton States seceded, and many Northern 
States declared for war. Influenced by this, Gov. Claib. Jackson and his supporters, when 
confronted with the fearful alternative of fighting for or against their kindred, promptly 
chose secession as the lesser evil, and endeavored to prepare the State for action. The 
Legislature ordered an election for delegates to a State Convention to be held on the 18th of 
February, to decide the question of secession, and the Union party carried the State by 80,000 
majority ! Not a single Secessionist was elected to this convention. What a surprise was 
this. Our people were mostly of Southern lineage, and their sympathy was shown by the 
Presidential vote of i860, when Lincoln received about 1 per cent, of the votes cast in the 
State outside of St. Louis, and in this city about 9 per cent., principally German. (Lincoln 
votes in Missouri 17,000; all others, 165,000.) In the State Legislature was one Republican 
Senator and 12 Representatives. Yet the people apparently decided to remain in the Union 
by an overwhelming majority. And this on the day when Jefferson Davis was inaugurated 
President of the Confederate States, at Montgomery, Ala. But there was a mental reservation 
behind this vote: Remain in the Union? Yes. Fight to desolate ancestral homes in the 
South, and kill relatives and friends? Never. Read what one of these Union delegates, 
Prince L. Hudgins, said, later on, to the convention: 

“I do not believe that a State has a constitutional right to secede; but seven States 
claim to have seceded, and I, for one, am anxious to bring them back. ***** 
It is strange that any man who lives in Missouri and believes in her institutions, should

hesitate to declare that she will not engage in such a war (to coerce the seceded States). 
It would be a dreadful thing to do, even if the Constitution, and the flag of our country, and 
our own honor required us to do it—to make war upon the land in which we were born, and 
whose churchyards are filled with the graves of our ancestors ; to desolate the homes and to 
shed the blood of our kindred. It is too horrible to contemplate. Missouri will never do it.” 

These men were patriots, facing an unparalleled emergency, and earnestly trying to 
do their duty. No greater responsibility ever rested upon the leaders of a people. Which¬ 
ever way they decided, ruin and desolation of themselves and their homes was inevitable. 
The unfortunate geographical position of Missouri placed them between the upper and the 
nether millstone of a great civil war, and no human intellect could save them. Censure 
them if you like; pity them if you can. 


GEN. FRANCia PRE$ToN gLAIR, Jr. 

/q\N the other hand: In the city of St. Louis were a few men, born and reared in the 
North, with an intense abhorrence of slavery and a genuine love of the Union, 
physically timid but morally brave, led by a man with physical courage sufficient for all— 
Hon. Francis Preston Blair, Jr. For twelve years Mr. Blair, a Southern man and formerly 

a slaveholder, had been the leader of a forlorn 
hope of “Free Soilers” in St. Louis, and finally, 
in i860, had organized a Republican anti-slavery 
party, when for the first time Missouri was repre¬ 
sented in a Republican National Convention. A 
superb organizer, clean handed, utterly without 
fear, this extraordinary man formed the German 
voters of St. Louis into a compact mass. Elected 
a member of the Missouri Legislature in 1852 and 
1854 as a Free Soiler, a Congressman in 1856, 
always a bold and defiant leader, he won the con¬ 
fidence of his own party by deserving it, and the 
admiration of political foes by personal daring. 
After the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, 
and from November, i860, he took the position of 
Republican leader in Missouri by right, and there 
were none to contest his fitness for that dangerous 
eminence. During the exciting winter and up to 
May, 1861., “Frank” Blair and Gov. “Claib.” 
Jackson contested in political warfare, with a great 
State for the prize. Each was hampered by negative support, as are all men in advance 
of their time, but neither showed discouragement or relaxed energy. When Gov. Jackson

resolved that Missouri should secede from the Union, Mr. Blair resolved, in that event, St. 
Louis should “secede from Missouri,” and began organizing the Home Guards for that 
purpose. [This originated the tradition that “Frank Blair had committed treason to the 
State,” and was by himself avowed as the reason why he could not take Drake’s iron-clad 

oath, after the war.] In a few weeks 
he had a regiment organized and 
partly armed by private contributions. 
The St. Louis arsenal, containing 
60,000 muskets and 1,500,000 rounds 
of ammunition, lay at the mercy of 
any one bold enough to seize it; and 
an indecisive government at Wash¬ 
ington would but weakly respond to 
Blair’s earnest appeals for a guard, 
notwithstanding the Southern sym¬ 
pathies of the ordnance officer in 
command.

iT length, on the 6th of February, 
Mr. Blair was reinforced by a 
man capable of grasping the mil¬ 
itary situation, with a company of 
regular infantry, eighty strong. This 
man was worth thousands. Capt. 
Nathaniel Lyon was a typical son of 
Connecticut, hating slaveholders as 
his ancestors have always hated people 
whose opinions differed from theirs, a 
graduate of West Point, experienced 
in Indian and the Mexican wars, and 
with all the qualities except prudence 
to make a Stonewall Jackson. From 
this time there was no hesitation. 
Blair and Lyon worked together, 
earnestly and unselfishly, for the 
Union cause. In a few weeks the 
arsenal commander was relieved, the garrison increased to nearly five hundred 
with Lyon in command of the post. Then followed the Convention.

Davis was inaugurated President of the Confederate States—assembled in St. Louis on 
March 4—the day of Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration as President of the United States.

majority of 80,000 votes commanded them to hold their State in the Union. Every member

justify secession; relief was hoped for from the “Crittenden Plan,” and a Convention of all 
the States; the North and the South were implored not to take up arms. And what more 
could they do to represent the wishes of their people ? Missouri was opposed to secession, 
but could not fight for coercion. Unhappy people, placed midway between two sections 
equally determined upon war, because war was the only path left. 


GOV. CFAI^ORNR r. JACF)50N. 


IqTISTORY has done scant justice to this kindly, honorable and able gentleman. A native 
| ^ of Kentucky, of Virginia parentage, with twenty-five years’ experience as a leader of 
other able leaders in Missouri politics, inaugurated Governor in January, 1861, his 
determination to uphold the honor of the State (from a Southern standpoint) at once secured 
the admiration and respect of the oldest and best people of Missouri. Far above consulting 

personal interest, he soon saw that his 
State could not remain neutral, and in 
his inaugural address ‘ ‘burned the bridges 
behind him,” and asserted that duty 
required all the slave-holding States to 
stand together. Rejecting the subter¬ 
fuges of weaker men, following only the 
dictates of conscience, the Governor took 
his stand and the Legislature rallied to 
his support. A military bill to place the 
State on a war footing was introduced, 
while the bill calling a Convention was 
passed. But in six weeks the people 
gave their decision against the Governor, 
and by 80,000 majority directed him to 
find some way to stay in the Union, 
with, as said before, a mental reservation 
not to fight against their Southern 
brothers. The conditions made the order 
inoperative. But the secession majority 
in the Legislature lost heart, the bill to 
arm the State was postponed, the Convention met and bowed to the decision of the electors } 
and left the Governor with only a handful of devoted followers to stem the current. The 
General Assembly refused to re-elect James S. Green to the U. S. Senate because he was a 
Secessionist, and elected Waldo P. Johnson, a Union man. [Mr. Green’s Southern 
sentiments evaporated and he disappeared, while his competitor resigned the high position

Rev. 'HIRAM D. GROVES, President, Fayette, Mo. 























of U. S. Senator to enter the Confederate army.] On March 22d the General Assembly 
considered the Convention resolution to call a Convention of all the States to propose 
amendments to the Constitution, whereupon Mr. Vest pithily suggested that “It is useless to 
go into council with our oppressors before we have agreed among ourselves.” But the 
resolution was adopted, and the Legislature adjourned March 28. And now the Governor 
began to regain strength as the people began to realize that fight they must, on one side or 
the other. Their hesitation had tied the Governor’s hands, lost the St. Louis Arsenal with 
its 60,000 muskets, and enabled Frank Blair to arm his Home Guards. When too late for 
decisive action, thousands of the “conditional Union men” took a sober second thought. 
Their first thought had been based upon good business principles and the material interests 
of the State. But American citizens, North and South, have always in emergencies been 
able to disregard mere self-preservation, and to sacrifice themselves upon the sacred altar of 
duty as God gave them light to see that duty. So our people generally resolved, “If 
Missouri is attacked we will defend her.” Only this. Defensive, not aggressive. The 
aggressive came later on. 


CiLN. D. I\. FR05T. 

APT. D. M. FROST, a graduate of West Point and a veteran of the Mexican war, 
had resigned from the army and been a citizen of St. Louis for about ten years. 

During the past two years he had been Brigadier General commanding the First Military 
District, and had organized a superb brigade of militia in 
this city. Everyone knew that the St. Louis arsenal 
was the prize to be secured, and many to this day believe 
that the General and the Governor blundered in not seizing 
that priceless collection of arms. But there was no blun¬ 
dering. Their hands w,ere tied, first by that 80,000 
majority of the people against secession; next by the 
refusal of the General Assembly to place the State on a 
war footing; then by the acts of the State Convention, 
and last by the magnificent energy of Frank Blair. 

Had Frost tried to follow Blair’s example and “rebel 
against his State” to seize the arsenal, his commands 
would not have been obeyed. When the people began 
to sustain their Governor it was too late. The arsenal was safe, garrisoned by 500 
regulars and protected by four regiments of Home Guards—State militia organized in 
defiance of their own State government. Frank Blair’s magnificent audacity had won 
the first skirmish.

/^\N the 13th of April Fort Sumter fell. On the 15th President Lincoln called 011 
^ Missouri for four regiments “to suppress combinations too powerful to be suppressed 
by ordinary judicial proceedings” and “to repossess the forts, places and property which 
have been seized from the Union.” Gov. Jackson returned a defiant refusal, and called the 
General Assembly in special session, to meet May 2d. He was again in control, with a 
practically united people. No ordinary man or men would have dared thus, single handed 
as it were, to defy the powerful masses of the United North. Regulars concentrating at Fort 
Leavenworth on the west, volunteers enlisting by the ten thousand in Iowa and Illinois, 500 
regulars and over 4,000 armed Home Guards in St. Louis, on the Union side; Frost’s 
brigade of St. Louis militia, one-third Union men, with no legal authority to act; Colonel 
Jno. S. Bowen’s “Southwest Battalion”—one light battery and one company of cavalry— 
one-half of them Union men,—these were Gov. Jackson’s war resources, with a warlike 
people in reserve. 


PR^PA^TloNa. 

N the Union side Gen. W. S. Harney was in command in St. Louis. His sympathies 
were Southern, but he was true to the old flag. Too old for active service, and 
therefore with no personal interest, his policy was 
to calm excitement and temporize, as was later done in 
Kentucky. Reporting to Washington Frost’s plan to 
seize the arsenal, he asked for instructions, while his 
subordinate, Capt. Lyon, acted without instructions 
and prepared for battle. Frank Blair secured Harney’s 
removal, and at last Lyon was in independent command. 

The Governor ordered the State militia into annual 
encampment and wrote to Jefferson Davis for siege 
guns and mortars, with which, if the State seceded, 

Gen. Frost should capture the arsenal, which now could 
not be carried by assault with raw troops. As a 
counter move, on April 26, Lyon shipped all surplus 
arms to Illinois. Gov. Jackson sent Quartermaster 
General James Harding to St. Louis to purchase arms; 
he “purchased” (and owes for them yet) several 
hundred hunting rifles and about seventy tons of powder, which was shipped up the Missouri 
river under escort of the Washington Blues (“Kelly’s Men”), Capt. Jos. Kelly commanding. 
The contest for the arsenal was ended. Frost’s brigade, some 600 strong, went into annual

encampment on a peace footing, without ammunition, solely for instruction and in obedience 
to law, and Lyon mustered and armed four more regiments, on the 7th and 8th of May, 
making over 7,000 men under his command, he ranking only as captain. And now was 
perpetrated the first blunder— 

THE CAPTURE op CAAP JflOSSON. 

P to this time Blair’s lawless zeal and Lyon’s reckless patriotism had succeeded 
admirably well. They were indeed the right men in the right place. But now their 
passions were inflamed. Friday, the fatal 10th of May arrived. The cool Harney was 
in Washington, to return on Sunday, the 12th, and resume command. Likewise, on 
Sunday the camp would break up and its members disperse to their homes. Unluckily, three 
8-inch siege howitzers and seven mortars with their ammunition, shipped from the Baton 
Rouge arsenal to reduce the St. Louis arsenal, arrived now when no longer needed or 
wanted. This was an “elephant” on Frost’s hands 
which he would gladly have presented to somebody 
else. There being no other place where this 
property could be safely stored, it was moved to 
the camp—United States property right within the 
grasp of 7,000 United States soldiers. It gave 
Lyon the desired excuse. Although the U. S. 

Marshal could easily secure the U. S. ordnance 
by civil process, Lyon determined to use his over¬ 
powering military force and capture stores, men, 
tents, horses — everything. They were either 
“traitors” or soon would be. This real soldier and 
genuine patriot, as said before, lacked only prudence 
to become a Stonewall Jackson. A mere soldier, 
he could not see beyond the range of his guns. 

If the hated “Secesh” chose to be hampered by 
civil law, the bigger fools they. Only a soldier, 
he knew nothing of the great moral power with 
which a respect for the forms of law binds a free people. Neither knew nor cared. The 
magazine was in sight, the train was laid, and a determined man held the match which 
was to blow a great State instantly into the horrible convulsions of civil war. Frost 
knew that Lyon intended to'capture his camp, and sent Col. Bowen with a letter 
positively denying any hostile intention againt the United States government “or its 
property,” which was true, as, with only ammunition for guard duty, he could not have 
successfully fought one company of the regulars. But Lyon refused to receive this letter 
and gave the order to march.

Tnn CAT<T 3 TROPHC. 

/q\N that fateful ioth of May, 1861, the Union troops, 7,000 strong, in their new uniforms, 
^ thoroughly armed and equipped, with numerous pieces of artillery, deliberately moved 
out to Liudell Grove, between Olive and Market streets, about where 30th street is now 
Gen. Frost had timely notice of the advancing column, but quietly awaited developments t 
“Camp Jackson”—named in honor of the Governor—was at midday a holiday camp, filled 
with lady visitors and children, the United States flag flying, Missouri still in the Union, 
and none dreamed of danger, because no one had a right to interfere with persons who had 
as yet violated no law (dew knew of those Baton Rouge ordnance stores, which could be had 
for the asking). A large majority of the officers and men were avowed “Secessionists,” 
and made no secret of their sentiments, but until they committed the talked of “overt act” 
they felt safe. Slowly the column surrounded the camp, deliberately the guns were placed 
in batter}'-. Hundreds of gentlemen, ladies and school children gathered to witness the 
imposing ceremony of a military capitulation (Gen. Sherman and his boy Willie among 
them). A demand for immediate and unconditional surrender was sent to Gen. Frost. 
The story is soon told. The surrender was made, arms stacked, and the “prisoners,” formed 
in column of fours, marched out upon the Olive street plank road, between two lines of the 
Home Guards, formed in two ranks. The writer’s company was the last to enter this human 
defile, and being mounted he could see far over the heads of captors and captured. Just as 
the last company was inclosed between the double lines, a few shots were heard near the 
head of the column, perhaps two hundred yards away, when our captors in two long lines 
ran back about fifteen steps and fired a volley at us and 
at each other. The act was simply a panic-stricken impulse 
to kill, by raw troops standing for the first time with loaded 
guns in presence of a fancied enemy. Only a few, really 
intent on murder, loaded and fired a second time. Three 
prisoners and twenty-seven citizens were killed or mortally 
wounded, and some eighteen citizens slightly wounded. 

Two Home Guards were killed and several wounded, by 
their own fire. Only those witnessing the firing have ever 
understood the reason why so few were hit. It was simply 
this: those raw troops, standing at a “carry arms,” brought 
down their pieces and fired from the hip, without aiming, or 
without bringing the stock pi the piece to the shoulder. 

Had the aim been deliberate, prisoners and Home Guards 
alike would have been shot down by the hundred. This is the plain truth of the “Camp 
Jackson Massacre,” as the writer saw it. The bullets, going over our heads, struck the 
citizens farther away. Let us drop this painful subject. Would that the results could be 
as easily dismissed.

Morally speaking, and as a matter of military policy, had policy required it, Capt. 
Lyon (he was still only a captain) had a perfect right to seize every man there. Blit 
legal right there was none, for he could not and 
did not hold them as prisoners. And there was 
little policy in attacking a great State which 
had not yet put itself in a position to be 
attacked. But passion ruled. Can we blame 
those Germans? Hardly. For months they had 
been jeered at, reviled, and often insulted in the 
streets of St. Louis, and a sudden rage got con¬ 
trol. Their ancestors were not subjected to the 
refining influences of that Order which, when 
worn out, Cervantes so humorously smiled away, 
and they yet, good citizens as they are, lack- 
some of the virtues transmitted by the Latin 
races to English-speaking people. Honestly 
ignorant are they of the stigma attached to this col. Elijah gates, 1st mo. cav, c. s. a. 
accident, as is proven by their still annually celebrating the ioth of May, while 
their well-wishers are trying to forget it. 


Civil ingR in i v \i55ouiu. 

x|CHUS, in one short hour, was civil war inaugurated in Missouri. An erratic political 
^ genius and a hot-headed soldier had given to Gov. Jackson the second skirmish. The 
prisoners were marched to the arsenal, a sham parole exacted (which both sides disregarded), 
and on the nth of May they returned to their homes, insane with humiliation, grief, and 
a desire for vengeance. Had Blair and Lyon respected the civil law of the State, in one 
day more these men would have gone home, still undecided which side to take. But 
henceforth there was no doubt. Both in St. Louis and all over the State it was believed that 
the “Dutch who surrounded Camp Jackson” when “Kelly’s men were all away” were to a 
man responsible for the murderous acts of a few. An intense rage passed over the State 
to the farthest corners. The General Assembly was in secret session on the evening of 
May ioth, hesitatingly discussing the Military Bill, when the Governor informed them 
that Camp Jackson was captured and the State militia held as prisoners of war. Opposition 
ceased at once and “within less than fifteen minutes” the bill was passed. No more 
hesitation now. The best people, those who most valued the honor and dignity of their 
State, casting aside all prudence, all thought of property, home or self, resolved to defend 
the Commonwealth. Gen. Harney returned to St. Louis, assumed command again, 
sustained “Captain Lyon’s conduct in capturing the State troops,” called for reinforcements

for “operations in Missouri,” and prepared for war. And rightly, too. The blunder 
made, it must be sustained. Per contra, Union men now joined the Governor, Sterling 
Price at their head. This old hero, a brigadier general of the Mexican war, was now 
appointed major general commanding the State forces, which “forces” had no existence. 
The Legislature appropriated money and unanimously requested the Governor to call out 
the militia, to be henceforth called the “Missouri State Guard.” However, one more 
attempt was made to hold the State neutral. Gen. Harney invited Gen. Price to a 
conference, whereat it was agreed that Gen. Price should “maintain order within the State,” 
which done, Gen. Harney would have no occasion to move U. S. troops within the State. 
Gen. Price returned to Jefferson City and sent home several thousand recruits who had 
responded to the excitement. Vain hope. Blair and Lyon w T ere determined to force 
hostilities, and secured the removal of Harney. Mr. Blair wrote to President Lincoln 
that “the blow struck at Camp Jackson has greatly intimidated the leaders of the 
rebellion,” and “We are well able to take care of this State without assistance from 
elsewhere, if authorized to raise a sufficient force within the State.” Forty thousand 
troops “from elsewhere” and six months time were required to “take care of this State.” 


(lOT. L^ION DECLARE WAR. 


/q\N the 17th of May, Capt. Lyon was commissioned brigadier general. [Mr. Blair was 
offered the commission, but was patriotic enough to decline in favor of Lyon.] Still 
another attempt was made to temporize. On the 
nth of June, Gov. Jackson and Gen. Price had an 
interview with Gen. Lyon and Mr. Blair in St. 

Louis, to find some pacific solution of the troubles. 

The Governor offered to disband the State Guard; 
to disarm all companies which had been armed; 
to pledge himself not to organize under the Mili¬ 
tary Bill;. that no arms should be brought into ’ 
the State; that* he would protect all citizens, regard¬ 
less of their political opinions, and suppress all 
insurrectionary movements; that he would repel all 
attempts to invade the State , by whomsoever made , and 
thus maintain a strict neutrality in the present 
unhappy contest, and preserve the peace of the State, 
and if necessary, to invoke the assistance of the 
U. S. troops to carry out these pledges. All this 
on the condition that the Federal government would disarm the illegally organized Home 
Guards and give a pledge not to occupy with its troops any place unoccupied at that time.

Gen. Lyon was now in independent command, with about 10,000 well-armed troops 
in hand and thousands more within call. He terminated the four hours’ conference with 
these words : “Rather than concede to the State of Missouri for one single instant the right 
to dictate to my Government in any manner, however 
unimportant, I would see you, and you, and you 
(pointing to each in turn), and every man, woman 
and child in the State dead and buried. This means 
war! In an hour one of my officers will call for you 
and conduct you out of my lines.’’ Bitter words 
these, and scant courtesy, ordering the Governor of 
a proud State out of “my lines” within an hour. 


INVOLUTION. 

Y 2 o’clock the next morning (June 12) the 
Governor was in Jefferson City, and at day¬ 
light the press was printing his proclamation, in 
which, after giving a summary of the preceding 
events, he closed in these memorable words, which 
should be read b}^ all who are interested in the politi¬ 
cal history of the State : 

“Fellow-citizens! All our efforts towards conciliation have failed. We can hope 
nothing from the moderation or justice of the agents of the Federal Government in this 
State. They are energetically hastening the execution of their bloody and revolutionary 
schemes for the inauguration of civil war in your midst; for the military occupation of your 
State by armed bands of lawless invaders; for the overthrow of your State Government and 
the subversion of those liberties which that Government has always sought to protect; and 
they intend to exert their whole power to subjugate you, if possible, to the military despotism 
which has usurped the powers of the Federal Government. * * * * 

“Now, therefore, I do issue this, my proclamation, calling the militia of the State to 
the number of fifty thousand into the active service of the State, for the purpose of repelling 
said invasion and for the protection of the lives, liberties and property of the citizens of this 
State. * * * * I hold it to be my duty to remind you that Missouri is still 

one of the United States; that the Executive department of the State Government does not 
arrogate to itself the power to disturb that relation; that that power has been wisely vested 
in a Convention, which will at the proper time express your sovereign will; and that mean¬ 
while it is your duty to obey all constitutional requirements of the Federal Government. 
But it is equally my dut} r to advise you that your first allegiance is due to your own Si te, and 
that you are under no obligation whatever to obey the unconstitutional edicts of the military 
despotism which has enthroned itself at Washington, or to submit to the infamous and 
degrading sway of its minions in this State.”

Heroic old Governor. All unconscious that the tide of advancing civilization was 
forcing another great world change, and that an institution older than history was about 

to disappear, in his rugged honesty he would have 
defied that world in arms. He had “made his case,’* 
and lost his State. 

The really important history of Missouri in 1861— 
the political part—ends here. Control passed from the 
hands of “Frank” Blair and “Claib.” Jackson. Both 
were honorable, kind-hearted, brave gentlemen, and 
each in his way gave ample proof of unselfish devotion 
to his cause. Henceforth the soldier directed events. 
The battles can be read in numerous military histories, 
all equally inaccurate. And what matters the small 
technical details of combat, except as they illustrate 
the high devotion to duty of civilized man and the 
cowardice of the demagogue. Those who fought would 
have gained little glory had not American manhood been well represented in the 
opposing ranks. The mere fighting part—the animal ferocity of man—will receive scant 
attention here.

[[EN. PRICE’S plan was to hold Boonville as a rallying point for North Missouri, 
and to call Gen. Ben. McCulloch to his aid from Arkansas. But he was opposed 
by the one solitary Union general of the time who 
had the nerve to take the responsibility of acting without 
orders. Gen. Lyon was no ordinary man. His plans 
were all matured in advance, and on June 13—the next 
day after his “declaration of war,”—he was on the 
way to Jefferson City, by boats up the Missouri river, 
with eight guns and two thousand infantry.- Arriving 
on the 15th, and finding the city evacuated, the next 
day he pushed on to Boonville, and captured the place 
after a slight skirmish.* The capital captured and 
the State cut in half at the first blow, the State forces 
retreated south. Gen. Sigel had been sent to Spring- 
field, and now moved west to Carthage with about one 
thousand men and seven guns, to intercept the Governor 
and his “army,” a mere rabble of about four thousand armed and unarmed men

and seven guns. The “Battle of Carthage” was fought on the 5th of July. Loss on 
each side about a dozen killed and four dozen wounded. Had either known just a little 
about war the other side would have been demolished. As Sigel retreated the State mob 
claimed a great victory, and all were heroes (the writer among them). The State forces 
then continued their retreat, reaching “Cow Skin Prairie,” in the extreme southwestern 
corner of the State, on the 9th of July. In twenty-seven days after declaring war on his 
own responsibility, Gen. Lyon had driven the Governor, Legislature and their forces to 
the Arkansas line. But such reckless rapidity of movement was not to be borne by the 
Washington authorities, who refused Blair’s 
earnest request that Lyon be regularly 
assigned to the command of operations of Mis¬ 
souri. A senator’s son-in-law with political 
aspirations was commissioned major general, 
and Lyon was left to struggle as he might 
with about 7,000 men, against the united 
forces of Generals McCulloch aud Price, about 
11,000 men, now joined at Cow Skin Prairie. 

Gen. J. C. Fremont took command of the 
department and refused to send reinforce¬ 
ments, saying, “If Lyon fights he must do 
so upon his own responsibility.” If some 
feeble old gentleman had been assigned in 
Fremont’s place, with timidity enough to 
have let matters run their natural course, 

Missouri would have been spared four years 
of civil war, for with five thousand more 
men Lyon would have held the State; he 
came very near doing it with his 7,000. 

Learning that Price and McCulloch were 
advancing on Springfield by different roads with an overwhelming force, this Connecticut 
game-cock advanced twenty-four miles on the 1st and 2d of August with 5,000 men, 
to beat them in detail. But finding the Southern* forces concentrated, Lyon returned 
to Springfield, and McCulloch and Price halted at “Wilson’s Creek,” ten miles south, 
going into camp on that historic field August 6th. The army was living principally on 
“roasting ears;” the proximity of fields of green corn and water decided the locality of 
Missouri’s great battle field. 

*The term “Confederate” would be improper, as three-fourths were Arkansas and Missouri “State” forces.

E had orders to march to attack Lyon at Springfield at 9 p. m. of August 9th. But 
* ^ a slight rain threatened to destroy the infantry ammunition,^ carried in the 

men’s pockets in default of cartridge boxes, and the order was suspended. The 
pickets had been called in, but were not sent out again, and the army went to sleep all 
unconscious that the best general in the entire Federal army was moving to surround 
them, determined to conquer or lose his own life in 
trying. At 6 o’clock on the morning of August 10th, 
we were awakened by the roar of shell passing close 
overhead, followed by the heavy boom of Lyon’s artillery 
on the northwest. This was instantly answered by the 
fire of Sigel’s battery on the southeast. Looking up 
towards Bloody Hill, there seemed to be acres of men, 
horses and wagons on a wild stampede, utterly panic- 
stricken. Never was surprise more complete. But 
there were as stern patriots sleeping on that field as 
ever in this world gave life to duty.* Gen. Price was 
up and dressed, and about to sit down to breakfast. 

His horse was quickly saddled, and up to Bloody Hill 
he galloped, yelling orders for everybody to follow. 

Then, by dozens, by companies, by half regiments, in 
order and in disorder, the Missourians followed their heroic old leader, and within twenty 
minutes a short line was formed within canister range of Totten’s [U. S.] battery. While 
Lyon was deploying his well-drilled troops in quick time and advancing with military 
precision, the Missouri State Guard made a run of about five hundred yards and secured 
the key point—the last ridge overlooking their camps—and were there to stay, as, too, 
were the Union soldiers attacking them. Then followed a five hours’ death grapple, not 
equaled on any field since Waterloo, and fully equal in the percentage of losses to that 
world-famed contest. Examine the records, ye who doubt this, and learn what the 
American volunteer is capable of doing when well led. Mark the difference—the generals 
on either side “led” their men while “commanding.” Lyon and Price were both 
wounded, and the latter’s clothing was cut two or three times by bullets. And Gen. 
McCulloch seemed to also be successively in all the deadliest places. 

And what was Sigel with his German “Heroes of Camp Jackson” doing all this 
time? Nothing. He had kindly deployed and opened fire with his battery at long 
range, to let the Arkansians know he was coming. When they, in rallying, abandoned 

♦One anecdote will illustrate the general feeling. After dark the night before, a white-haired old gentleman 
came to Rock Champion’s camp-fire and said: “I hear you are about to march against the enemy. I am a 
Campbellite preacher, and have never fired a gun. But it is my duty, to defend my home, and perhaps I can be 
of some service.” Rock got a musket and a cartridge, and there by the light of the camp-fire, showed the old 
patriot how to load. He was killed the next morning at the first volley.

their camps, he advanced to the bluff at Sharp’s house, where Bledsoe’s and Reid’s 
batteries opened on him. Gen. McCulloch grabbed three, companies of the Third 
Louisiana, and, leading them in person, charged Sigel’s battery, capturing five of the six 
guns. Exit the Germans without further remonstrance. 

Then McCulloch—like Lyon and Price, a bom leader and fighter—heavily reinforced 
the Missourians on Bloody Hill. Lyon brought up his reserves, led them in a final 
attack against superior numbers, was killed, and the long agony was ended. The Union 
troops withdrew in perfect order. Both sides were fought to a standstill. The State 
Guard and the Arkausians laid down in line and rested, then buried a few of their dead, 
and ate breakfast, dinner and supper in one meal of roasted green com and fresh beef. 

The actual forces on the field of Wilson’s Creek, as carefully compiled by Col. 
Thos. L. Snead, Gen. Price’s chief of staff, were: Union, 5,400; Southern, 10,175. 
But these figures are misleading. Sigel’s 
column, 1,200 strong, was practically never 
in the battle, and this reduced Lyon's forces 
to 4,200 men. These were, however, thor¬ 
oughly amied, organized and unifomied, in 
fact, “well in hand,” and well commanded. 

On the Southern side, of Gen. Price’s 
Missourians, not one company had ever 
been regularly mustered into sendee ; they 
were a mere collection of citizens armed with 
hunting rifles and shotguns. The artillery 
ammunition had been made in camp—solid 
shot and canister of iron slugs—no shell, 
no drill, no discipline,* for each went and 
came at his pleasure. In the “stampede” 
incident to the total surprise, thousands 
“got lost,” as is shown by their casual¬ 
ties: 4,736 men, lost 119, or 2i per cent. 

These were as thoroughly out of the battle 
as was Sigel’s column, and reduced the 
Southern forces in battle to 5,439, against 4,000 Union soldiers. 

The details of casualties in this bloody engagement—the severest during the 
first year of the war—are interesting. The real fighting was nearly all done on Bloody 
Hill, between 3,550 Union troops, who lost 892 men, and 4,239 Southern troops, who 
lost 988. Loss on each side, 25 per cent. Lyon had 475 cavalry, who lost 11, or 4 .0 
of 1 per cent, while McCulloch and Price had 1,447 cavalry, who lost 43, also 4 /»° of 1

♦There were three drilled and disciplined commands in the Mo. State Guard, “Kelly’s Men,” Weightman’s 
battalion, and Guibor’s Battery. Kelly lost 49 out of 142 men, or 33 per cent; Guibor lost 14 of 61 men, or 25 
per cent.

per cent.* The strange thing is that with one side armed with the regulation army rifle 
and the other principally with shotguns and hunting rifles, the percentage of loss should 
he precisely equal. Also that the U. S. regular 
cavalry and the Southern mounted men were 
equally worthless. 

The Southern men who did the actual 
fighting on Bloody Hill were: Missourians, 3,168, 
losing .680; Arkansiaus, 1,071, losing 308. 

Churchill’s Arkansas Mounted Rifles carried 500 
dismounted men into action and lost 197, or 40 
per cent. On the Union side the First Missouri 
lost 295 out of 775 men, or 27 per cent. The 
First Kansas lost 284 out of 800, or nearly 29 
per cent. 

There are two explanations for this great 
mortality among citizens who were not yet soldiers: 

(1) It was “civil war,” and each fought more to 
kill than to conquer. (2) The fighting was 
principally in thick bushes at from 50 to 150yards. 

Altogether, this battle is well worthy of the study of 
military students, who should procure “Snead’s 
Fight for Missouri,” published by Scribner’s, N. Y., from which work these details are taken.t 



CoNCmiaiON. 


^??HE death of Lyon left the field clear for the do-nothing Union generals. The Federal 
Government had no real leader again until Gen. Grant slowly forced his way to 
command, two years later. McCulloch would not rely upon the imbecility of the Union 
commanders, and went back to Arkansas, while Price advanced to the Missouri river, 
captured Lexington within striking distance of a force which would have dispersed him in 
two hours had Lyon been in command, and leisurely retreated to Arkansas. Henceforth 
Missourians fought in the Confederate army with no hope of regaining their homes even if 
the Confederacy gained its cause. The “consciousness of duty faithfully performed” was 
to be their only reward, and they knew it. For the few survivors this has sufficed. Events 
forced them into a war. It had to be fought out. The Divine Ruler of man is the 
Conscience given him by God. Better follow that and lose. The ex-Confederates of 
Missouri can now see that the benefits of the struggle are worth all it cost. In a civil war 
the vanquished lose only a little more than the victors. All participate in the gains. 
The wonderful progress of our united country proved this. 

♦European armies of regular soldiers seldom lose over xo per cent in their first battle.

York, to which company we are indebted for permission to copy the portraits illustrating this article.

latures. But the money has not been raised by ex-Confederates alone. In many counties 
ex-Union soldiers have accepted the position of treasurer and of township collectors, modesty 
alone preventing their taking higher positions. It has been no unusual thing to see the 
members of a G. A. R. Post come marching to our meetings in full uniform, taking reserved 
seats, while their officers came upon the platform and intro¬ 
duced the speakers in words that cheered the heart of every 
ex-Confederate present. And everywhere their names appear 
among the contributors. 

In this connection, reference to the phenomenal success 
of our Confederate Home seems in order. At Nevada, in 
August, 1890, when asked, “How much money must we have 
to start the Home?” the President replied, “Not less than 
thirty or forty thousand dollars.” This seemed a gigantic 
undertaking, but already the larger amount has been more 
than doubled. 

But perhaps greater than the material benefit has been 
the moral revolution effected by the chivalrous sympathy and 
generous aid of the ex-Union soldiers. Beginning with the 
“singing school” of the St. Louis Loyal Legion, at the Pickwick theater in St. Louis last 
November, this fraternal spirit of “the soldier and the gentleman” has been shown throughout 
the State wherever opportunity offered. 

It is the same old story. The victor of either side, when the battle was over, cared 
for his wounded foe, and by doing so made a better man of each, and gave each cause to be 
proud of his opponent. And now, looking back to those heroic days, all find ample reason 
to feel proud of their common American citizenship. 

The Confederate Home at Higginsville is not exclusively for Missouri soldiers, but 
is for all who served in the Confederate army, navy or civil service. Residence in this State 
for one year prior to December 20, 1890, is required. (This was found necessary for obvious 
reasons.) 

The Women of Missouri, organized as “Daughters of the Confederacy,” are erecting 
the main building on the Home farm. It is 90 feet front by no feet deep; to cost, when 
fully equipped with gas and steam heating apparatus, $23,683. They expect to present this 
fine building to the Home Association about the first of June 1893, when lady delegates from 
the numerous auxiliary D. O. C. societies throughout the State will assemble at Higginsville 
and formally dedicate this splendid result of their noble work.

Secretary’s Report Confederate Home of Missouri. 


To the President , Officers and Members of the 
Executive Committee: 

Gentlemen— I have just finished posting the 
accounts of the Local Supervising Committee of the 
Home. Taking the cash entries from the beginning, 
the expenditures have been classified, as in the “Bal¬ 
ances” hereto appended, so that the exact cost of 
everything can be seen. 

I find that the Home has been well and economic¬ 
ally managed. At a first glance, the total expendi¬ 
ture seems large ; but upon a close investigation every 
item will be found to have been necessary, either to 
lessen the future expense, to preserve the property, 
or to provide necessary comforts for the inmates. 

Capt. M. L. Belt, the Superintendent, and Dr. 
J. J. Fulkerson, the Surgeon, after giving their time 
and faithful services for six months without charge, 
have, since compensation was voted them, continued 
their able administration with the same humane and 
zealous care. And to the Local Supervising Com¬ 
mittee, Messrs. A. E. Asbury and A. Wade, we are 
indebted for prudent business foresight and wise 
counsel. 

To find the present value of the Home property, 
the following approximate estimate is given:

cash outlay per adult inmate is 27 cents per day, and 
13} cents for children. This includes everything— 
salaries, drugs, insurance, school books, freight, etc.

Leading Importers and Retailers of Dry Goods in St. Louis. 
Dealing Strictly in Superior Manufactured Goods. 


ERSONS living in remote localities have the same ad¬ 
vantages in prices as residents or visitors to our city. 

Prices to mail customers always the same as to 
those who buy over our counters, and correspondents 
are always given the full advantage of every bargain that may be 
offered the day order is received. 

All communications receive our personal attention, and are 
promptly and cheerfully answered. 

Samples sent promptly upon request, free. Correspondents 
will please state, in all instances, the kind of goods wanted, and 
about the price they wish to pay. We will then be able to select 
intelligently and will send a liberal line to choose from. 

Owing to the rapid changes in our stock, orders should be sent 
in as early as possible after receipt of samples; and vexations can be 
easily avoided if correspondents will name a second choice in case 
the first one is sold, or grant privilege of selecting something simi¬ 
lar, equally as good and fully as desirable, at same price.

When returning goods to be exchanged or for other reasons, 
be sure to mark on wrapper your name and address, and mail your 
letter in separate sealed envelope. Put no writing in mail packages. 

Remittances should always accompany orders, and thus save 
the charge of the Express Company for making collections. 

Remittances can be made by drafts on St. Louis or New York, 
Express Money Order, Post Office Money Order, Postal Note and 
Registered Letter. 

■ Goods ordered by mail must always be accompanied by a re¬ 

mittance for the full amount, including a sufficient amount to pre¬

To correspondents furnishing satisfactory references, we send 
goods to be remitted for on receipt. If express charges are paid 
both ways, will send wraps, combination patterns, novelties in 
trimmings, and other goods that cannot be sampled, on approval.

Note.— In computing rations, children over 5 and under 14 are 

counted at one-half ration each. Under 5 years, not counted. 


Having found the number of rations consumed, the 
net cost per day per inmate is found by deducting 
from the total cash expended the cost of the permanent 
improvements and repairs, and stock and provisions 


on hand, as follows: 

Total cash expended.$12,240 86 

Total deductions. 8,704 28 

Balance.$ 3,536 58 


$3,536.58 divided by 13,000 rations equal 27.2 cents. 
27.2 cents multiplied by 365 days equal $99.28 per 
year. Or, in round numbers, it has cost to feed, 
clothe, doctor and shelter each adult inmate about 
$100 per year, and for each child over 5 years and 
under 15, $50 per year. 

It is hoped that this cost will be reduced the present 
year, for the following reasons : 

1. During about eight months the groceries and 
provisions were bought at retail prices; since building 
the storehouse, all supplies are purchased at whole¬ 
sale rates. 

2. Now that the hospital is furnished, drugs will 
also be bought in bulk, and the surgeon will compound 
his own prescriptions. 

3. Very few arrived last year in time to make a 
garden. Now all who are able are at work. Each 
family is cultivating its own garden, with the under¬ 
standing that it will not be allowed to draw from the 
large Home garden until the crop is matured and 
housed. 

4. A far more economical matron, and one year’s 
experience by the Superintendent and the Surgeon, 
will enable them to stop many small wastes incidental 
to starting a new institution.

The old 7-room house in rear of main building has 
been thoroughly repaired and painted inside and out, 
and will be used for a hospital. It can accommodate 
17 inmates, which increases the capacity of the Home 
to So. 

No more families can now be received, as all the 
cottages are filled or engaged. 

The Home looks bright and prosperous. Visitors 
are cordially welcomed, shown over the place, and 
invited to'investigate. All that is needed to popular¬ 
ize the Home is that its practical workings should be 
seen.

Note. —The principal part of above report was 
written in May, 1892. It is submitted to show the 
general manner of managing the Home. In June, 
1893, the new main building will be completed. The 
total cost of the Confederate Home and farm will 


then be:

applied for admission will be admitted. Present 
number of inmates, 76.

^AINT LOUIS. 


N THE EARLY DAYS of the present imperial city of the magnifi¬ 
cent valley of the Mississippi, historic events were not frequent, and 
only significant of a limited commercial future. But to-day the 
transactions of a single year can hardly be compressed within a 
ponderous volume. They come forward so rapidly and are of such 
huge dimensions as to bewilder the historian in his efforts to intel¬ 
ligently analyze and arrange them. In order to impart an interest to 
the industrial and commercial affairs of St. Louis, the subject must 
not be treatedjin detail, but evolved in classified forms, so that the grand results will appear 



NEW UNION DEPOT. 


at a glance. Before entering upon an exposition of the active and tremendous forces that 
underlie the progress of this commercial city, and exhibit the grand results of their operations, 
it will be of interest to review its splendid situation and conditions, in which many important 
facts are infolded and are appropriately connected with the Confederate Soldiers’ Home

LOCATION. 


Wisely or otherwise, by accident or through the foresight of good judgment, the hardy 
and courageous pioneers who first marked a few trees upon the banks of the great river, and 
at the place where St. Louis now stands, for a future settlement, were exceedingly fortunate, 
if not benefactors to those who came after them. The chief inducement of their adventure to 
this wild region of country, diversified with unbroken forests and uncultivated prairies, was 
not to build a city, but to establish a trading-post for the exchange of cheap commodities 
with the Indians for their rich and valuable furs. The site that was determined upon for 
that settlement proved to be admirable beyond their highest expectations. It was found to 



NEW CITY HALL. 


be a succession of rolling elevations, rising at first sharply from the river, and then rolling 
back in increasing heights to the more elevated tablelands. Such are the elegantly diversified 
surface conformations of St. Louis, which is about midway upon the river between the head 
of navigation and the Gulf. Here was found a delightful and uniform climate free from the 
extremes of either heat or cold, all of the favorable conditions for a perfect drainage, a 
navigable water line of capacity to carry the productions of empires to the seaboard, and 
ample materials of wood and stone and clay for building purposes.

AREAS, DISTANCES AND ELEVATIONS. 

When St. Louis first? secured a charter of incorporation as a city, which was on the 
9th day of December, 1822, its area was only 477.25 acres, or 0.75 square miles. In 1841, 
the limits were extended to embrace 2,865.10 acres or 4.48 square miles. Again, in 1855, 
its area was increased to 8,923.25 acres or 13.94 square miles. In 1870 new additions were 
made, and the area of the city advanced to 11,504.75 acres, equaling 17 square miles, and in 
1876, at the time of the adoption of the Scheme and Charter, the city was enlarged to its 
present limits of 39,276.25 acres or 61.37 square miles. 

This gradual advancement in areas only kept pace with the increase of population which 
may appropriately be referred to in this connection. At the time it became a city, St. Louis had 



GRAND AVENUE BRIDGE. 


a population of about 5,000. In 1840 it had increased to 16,469, and in 1855 to 125,000. 
The census of 1870 showed the population to be 310,864, while the recent United States 
census of 1890 gave it a population of 451,770, which was evidently much below the actual 
number of its inhabitants. At the present time the population of the city exceeds 500,000. 

The river frontage is 19.15 miles, while the western boundary line extends a distance 
of 21.27 miles. An air line drawn from north to south shows a distance of exactly 17 miles, 
and from east to west 6.62 miles. The elevation of the city above the mean tide level of the 
Gulf is 412.71 feet. From the river level, as determined by the City Directrix, the elevation

have all been leveled, and incidental sharp elevations have been graded, so that the character 
of the surface is shown in long and gentle swells and slight depressions. 

STREETS, AVENUES AND ALLEYWAYS. 

No other American city can boast of better paved streets, especially in the business 
center, where the reconstruction has been largely completed with granite blocks, and which is 
being extended to all business portions of the city. The avenues and boulevards are also 
splendidly improved, and the adoption of concrete material for sidewalks has the advantages

of smoothness, durability and beauty. New streets are constantly being opened and 
improved, while reconstruction is going forward in all parts of the city. As showing the 
progress being made in this direction, and also the extent of accomplished work, the following 
facts, gleaned from official sources, will be of public interest:

SEWERAGE. 

In connection with street improvements the subject of drainage is of still greater 
importance to the healthful condition of the city. Fortunately, the physical situations of St. 
Louis contribute largely towards the favorable construction of its sewerage system. The 
natural declivities of the surface towards the river present superior advantages in its

construction, and greatly add to the exceptional healthfulness of the population. The 
commissioners having charge of that department and its eminently important work, have 
been selected with a just regard for their engineering ability and judgment. The present 
able incumbent of that responsible official position, Mr. R. R. Southard, furnishes many 
interesting facts in connection with that subject, from which the following are selected : 

The total length of the sewerage system of St. Louis is 324 miles. It has been 
constructed of stone, stone and brick, exclusively brick, clay pipe and cement. The main 
sewers are built of massive stonework, and will endure through the coming ages. The 
brick aqueducts are regarded as equally durable, if not as strong, as those constructed of 
stone, while the district sewers are all built in a substantial manner.

WATER SUPPLY. 


The total water pipe service throughout the city is 373 miles. This comprehensive 
distributive system is being extended from year to year in response to the rapid growth of 
the city. The aggregate daily consumption of water is now over 36,000,000 gallons, and, in 
anticipation of the large increasing needs for manufacturing and domestic purposes, important 
extensions of the water supply system, embracing immense new engines, pumping stations 
and settling basins, as well as a new and lofty water tower, are in process of construction at 
the Chain of Rocks, in the extreme northern portion of the city, which, when completed, will 
be of ample capacity to supply the requirements of the city for the next half century. 



BUILDING AND BUILDING STATISTICS. 

During the past ten years a new energy seems to have been awakened in the progress 
of building. Large and imposing structures now adorn the business portion of the city, and 
many others of equal magnificence and architectural grandeur are projected and will be com¬ 
pleted during the next year. A conspicuous advancement, both in style, elegance and extent 
of residences, especially in the western portion of the city, has been made, and is increasing 
in number annually. During the year the number of new buildings of all kinds completed 
was 4,435, at an estimated cost of $13,259,950, but at an actual cost exceeding $16,000,000. 
In the past ten years the number of building permits issued was 29,714, which would make

a large city of themselves, and shows the great increase of population much beyond the 
estimates of the late census, as its results do not exhibit a careful and efficient count. 
These nearly 30,000 structures were estimated to have cost $66,729,220, but it is safe to 
state that their actual total cost exceeded $75,000,000. 

A splendid new City Hall is now being constructed to cost $1,000,000, a new Union 
Railway Station at an equal cost, a new projected hotel at another $1,000,000, and several 
large mercantile and office structures that will range in cost from $100,000 to $750,000 each. 
One of the largest and grandest of the notable structures in this city is the Exposition and 
Music Hall Building, covering a space of two blocks and which was erected and improved at 
a cost of about $750,000. It would be of interest to notice in detail a large number of our 
more prominent buildings, but the limits of this work are insufficient for that purpose.

REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY VALUATIONS. 

One of the surest tests of rapid progress is the accumulation of wealth. In this 
respect St. Louis ranks among the solid cities of the nation and far in advance of all other 
municipalities in the valley of the Mississippi. An analysis of so interesting a subject will 
not fail of public attention. The number of tax bills turned over by the city assessor to the 
collector, in February last, was 65,774, showing that this city has a larger percentage of 
taxpayers according to its population than any leading city in the United States. The 
number of acres assessed in the old limits, i. e., within the city corporation, before the

adoption of the Scheme and Charter in 1876, is 1,102.20, at a valuation of $1,980,270. The 
•number of city lots is 68,150, valued at $192,888,200, making a total of $194,868,470. 

Within the new limits, and exclusive of the old, there are 10,630.04 acres of land, 
assessed at $5,265,330, and the number of city lots 38,912, valued at $39,865,630, making a 
total of $45,130,960. 

The personal property assessed in the old limits has a valuation of $35>527,700. 
Personal property in the new city limits is assessed at $3,225,310. 



ST. LOUIS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. 


These several items make a grand total of $278,752,440, showing an increase over the 
assessed valuation of 1890, of $33,600,000 and over, the total amount of assessments in that 
year being $245,088,720. Nor does this large increase appear exclusively in the rising 
value of real estate, as over $7,000,000 of the amount is in personal property, chiefly in the 
capitalization of new trust and loan associations and banks. The increase of $25,000,000 
and over in real estate, during the past two years, shows the rapid and substantial develop¬ 
ment of the city without any of the characteristics of speculation. At least 25 per cent can 
be justly added to the total assessed valuation to reach more nearly the real wealth of the 
city, and that will show a grand total of $348,440,550, a magnificent sum, of which the 
66,000 taxpayers may justly feel proud.

It is not needed in this connection to trace the routes of the seventeen lines of street 
railways that intersect the city, and extend from the business center in all directions to the 
remote residence portions, and furnish rapid transit to about 80,000,000 of passengers 
annually. During the past year important improvements have been made in the motor 
power of several lines, conspicuously the St. Louis and Suburban road, which has been

changed from a cable to electric power and extended to a distance of 24.61 miles, reaching a 
desirable section of the suburbs of the city. An electric line of road is now in operation, 
extending from the bridge on Washington avenue to the northwestern portion of the city 
and to Bellefontaine and Calvary cemeteries. An electric line has also been added to the 
system, which extends from the city limits west on Page avenue as far as Hanley, in St. Louis 
county. A line of this character, directly to the county seat of Clayton, will soon be built. 

There are but two horse railroads now remaining in the city, and these will be changed 
to electric motors as soon as arrangements are perfected to that end, which include amend¬ 
ments to their charters. The total mileage of single tracks now in operation is 214.31 miles.

THE PARK SYSTEH. 


Much of the beauty, charm and health of a city are in the extent and ornamentation 
of its parks. In this respect St. Louis is highly favored and a great interest is manifested in 
keeping these delightful places in fine condition. Its group of parks are also admirably 
distributed, so that the north, south and central portions of the city are provided with these 
beautiful resorts as well as the opulent west end. Of course several of our parks are more

highly^ improved than others, notably the splendid Tower Grove, Lafayette, Hyde and Forest 
Parks, and the incomparable Missouri Botanical Garden, which has been incorporated with 
our park system since the death of the late Henry Shaw. The general characteristics of our 
parks are all about the same, the embellishments embracing elegant walks and driveways, 
luxurious shade, artistic flower plots, beautiful lawns, rustic bridges, dells, ponds, fountains, 
shubbery, vines, statues, busts, music stands, etc., all of which are combined in these 
pleasing and attractive landscapes. Without attempting descriptions, there are a few facts 
in connection with our parks that will add to the interest of this Souvenir, and these are 
their location, size and cost :

Having a knowledge of its situation, improvements, advantages, wealth and progress, 
as shown in the foregoing pages, it will be of no less interest to glance at its vast commercial 
operations, gigantic industries and incomparable transportation facilities. These are the 
life-currents of progress that flow directly to commercial greatness and power. As 
commodities must first be grown and gathered, taken from the bosom of the earth and 
manufactured, before they become articles of commerce, it will be logical and appropriate 
to give precedence to the development and increase of the great manufacturing enterprises 
of St. Louis. 


Location and conditions are highly favorable for the largest development of these 
industries, because we are in the midst of the richest food-producing region of the world, near 
to vast corn fields that will furnish an inexhaustible supply of cheap fuel for centuries to 
come, in the center of an iron, lead, zinc and other mineral-producing section of country, 
near to the raw materials of cotton, wool, lumber, hides and leather, and indeed everything 
that enters into the manufacturing industries. Moreover, St. Louis is the best distributing 
center in the United States, as it is in the midst of 30,000,000 of consumers, and its markets 
are practically unlimited. 

For these reasons St. Louis must inevitably take the first place among the manufactur¬ 
ing cities of the country, outranking any other in the vastness and diversity of its products 
and the extent of its commerce.

GROWTH OF ST. LOUIS. 

[Extracts from the Annual Report, for 1892, of George H. Morgan, Secretary of the Merchants’ Exchange.] 

“The close of a year marked by many evidences of unusual prosperity in the business 
of St. Louis, and unmarred by anything that can be called ill-fortune, makes the annual 
review of the city’s trade and commerce for 1892 a task as cheerful as it is simple. It may 
be summarized in few words—a uniform story of large traffic, with good prices, easy 



MERCHANTS' BRIDGE. 


collections, insignificant losses and few failures, from all branches of trade and all depart¬ 
ments of industry, the complaints being too few and feeble to impair the monotony of 
the almost unvarying reports ; and, as a great city reflects the condition of the regions and 
populations which contribute to its wealth and welfare, and for whom it serves as agent of 
supply and interchange, the pleasure of the retrospect is heightened by the reflection that the 
prosperity which the past year brought to St. Louis is shared by the people with whom it 
enjoys intimate trade relations. A year in which no leading industry shows a falling off,

and most of them show a very considerable increase ; in which the manufactured product of the 
city reaches an estimated value of over $270,000,000, and new establishments are erected and 
many old ones extended; in which there was an increase in the jobbing trade of eight to ten 
per cent, and an increase in the transactions of the clearing house of $92,000,000; in which 
there were $30,000,000 worth of new buildings and improvements erected, and sales of real 
estate made to the amount of $62,474?°°° *? in which the foundations were laid and the 
superstructure well advanced of a colossal new Union Railway Depot, to be completed before

MASONIC HOME. 

“Operations in some departments of trade were temporarily impaired by the unusual 
floods in the West and South, in the spring, and sales were materially curtailed in the South, 
also, in the first part of the year, by the low prices of cotton consequent on the enormous crop 
of 1891, which for a time diminished the purchasing capacity of the planting populations of 
that section ; but fortunately the floods subsided without inflicting as great an injury as at 
one time was apprehended, and an advance in cotton prices in the fall which added $12 to 
$13 a bale, or nearly $90,000,000, to the value of the estimated 7,000,000-bale crop of 1892, 
gave a more cheerful aspect to affairs in the Southern States, and provoked a prompt,

sympathetic response in the salesrooms of St. Louis; and before the year ended the increased 
orders from those States imparted a marked animation to our markets and almost 
compensated for the curtailment of such orders which had marked the first half of the year. 
The condition and character of the general trade of the city for 1892 are probably most 
accurately indicated by the universal statement from merchants and manufacturers that 
collections have been easy and losses light—so light in the case of many large houses as to 
be an almost inappreciable percentage on the amount of sales, and in all cases as scarcely 
to impair the reasonable profits of the year’s operations. This unvarying report is doubly 
gratifying, since it shows that the trade of the city has been sound, healthful and prosperous,

and also that the people of the West are able to consume largely of the comforts and luxuries 
of life and to pay promptly for them. 

“It is not claimed for St. Louis that it is the center of trade to all this transmississippi 
territory, but it is claimed that the converging of great navigable rivers in this vicinity mark 
it for an important influence over the commerce of a very large part of that territory, and 
when its river advantages are seen to be reinforced by the twenty-three railways which 
converge in the great Union Depot, it is an instinctive recognition, by the great instrumen¬ 
talities of transportation of the spot marked by nature to be the chief distributing point for 
that great central valley of the country which is to be the home of the masses of its people 
and the theater of their future achievements. Here is a navigable water line from Pittsburgh

greatest rivers of the continent—one of them trending from east to west, another from west 
to east, and the third, which receives the waters of both these, flowing almost directly from 


north to south. It is on that section of this latter river between the mouths of the other 
two that the city of St. Louis is located, as if for the purpose of being mistress of the vast

could be witnessed in any other city in the world; and the same may be said of that other 
spectacle which illustrates the vast extent, the variety of products and the active interchange 
of the great valley of which St. Louis is the distributing center—boats lying at the levee 
discharging freight taken at landings in sixteen States of the Union. 

But while St. Louis is the key to a fluvial system which makes it an easy thing fora

on the rivers for its commerce, nor even for the larger part of it. The navigable streams

which the city has command of, through its location on the greatest one, at a point where 
the traffic of its northern half and that of its southern half meet, are of great advantage in 
the movement of cheap and bulky products, and of still greater advantage in their cheapening 
influence on railroad carrying rates to and from the regions over which its supremacy 
extends ; but in the actual work of distribution they are only accessories and aids to that 
extensive radiative system of railroads converging at its Union Depot. Every town on a 
railroad may be said to have railroad connection with the entire country ; but there are few 
cities—if, indeed, there are two—that possess as many great trunk lines, the stems of 
branching systems, reaching directly into as many surrounding tributary quarters, as

of an increased trade in the near future which must come to St. Louis and augment very 
largely the annual exhibit of its commerce.” 

There was a period, following the discovery < 5 f gold in California, when the overland 
travel and outfitting business exhibited themselves in a marvelous growth of the commerce 
of St. Louis, when as many as one hundred steamboats were counted on the Mississippi 
River in one season, and its levee was literally burdened with traffic ; but even with this 
prosperous period in view, it may be asserted that the era of great substantial prosperity for 



WiLLOW POND, SHAW'S GARDEN. 

St. Louis was the twelve years since 1880—and the most vigorous growth in this period has 
been in the last five years of it. And the explanation is to be found largely in the rapid 
development of its manufacturing industries. The city has lost, here and there, commerce 
which once came to its levee and warehouses, but it has more than retrieved the loss by 
invading the domains of its rivals with the products of its industries, and by recognizing 
the wants of the growing West, and adjusting its manufactures to the supplying of them ; 
and how intelligently and accurately this was done is demonstrated by the fact that no 
readjustment has, up to this time, been found necessary. No great industry in which the

city embarked lias had to be abandoned, and all of them exhibit substantial and encouraging 
growth. 

The increase in capital invested in manufacturing industries in the city grew at the 
rate of nearly eighteen per cent a year in the census decade ending with 1890, and it is 
gratifying to learn from statistics and unofficial reports that can be relied on that this 
percentage rate of growth shows no sign of falling off in the first two years of the current 
decade. Few industries indicate an increase less than eight per cent, while many exceed it 
—several leading ones showing ten to fifteen per cent.

“St. Louis now stands as the fifth manufacturing city of the United States—New York, 
Chicago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn only ranking above it. The increase in the value of 
the manufactured product between 1880 and 1890, according to the late census, was, for 
New York, 56.20 per cent; for Philadelphia, 72 per cent; for Chicago, 149 percent; for 
Cincinnati, 67.15 per cent; for Baltimore, 69.19 per cent, and for St. Louis, 100 per cent; 
the increase for St. Louis being greater than for either of the other cities named, except 
Chicago. The increase in the amount of capital invested in manufacturing in the same 
decade was, for New York, 97.37 per cent ; for Chicago, 313.88 per cent ; for Philadelphia,

u St. Louis stood fourth iu the per capita value of manufactures in 1890—and this 
although it is farthest removed from what has heretofore been regarded as the industrial 
center of the country. If, as the figures significantly suggest, the industrial center of the 
country is moving strongly and steadily westward, and the manufacturing energies and skill 
of our population are gathering in and around the cities of the West as the seats of their 
highest achievement and their greatest product, in the near future, it- may be confidently 



predicted that when the readjustment shall have been effected, St. Louis will stand forth as 
one of the great centers of industrial production. It is two years since the returns on which 
the census figures are based were given iu, aud those two years have been marked by 
unusual activity aud effort ; many old manufacturing establislimeuts have been enlarged 
and supplied with new machinery, and many new ones have been set up ; new industries

have been introduced, and approved economies have taken the places of old methods—with 
the effect of making the growth in the last two years greater than in any two years of the 
census decade. If this growth since 1890 be estimated at the reasonable rate of ten per cent 
per annum, the product of St. Louis manufactures in 1892 was $273,600,000. 

“It is interesting to observe that the growth of our manufacturing interest is nearl}' 
three times as great as that of the population—the increase in population in the decade between 



1880 and 1890, as exhibited in the census, having been 28 per cent and the increase in #

that they may not be overlooked. That St. Louis workshops should supply the products of 
their skill and industry to the Western and Southern States with which the city’s carrying 
systems give it intimate and immediate trade relations, is something that a citizen of St. 
Louis, animated with an average share of local pride and faith, can easily understand ; but 
when it is stated that the products of St. Louis workshops and the contents of St. Louis 



storerooms are not confined in their distribution to the West and South, nor to the vast 
region between the Alleghany and the Rocky Mountains, nor even to the United States, his 
faith in the future of his city ceases to be a mere sentiment and becomes a demonstration. 
There are manufactures of St. Louis that go into every State and Territory of the Union— 
and that, not only by accident or experiment, but habitually—in the regular order of trade;

THE RIVER SYSTEM OF ST. LOUIS. 


Fortunately, St. Louis is central in the valley of the great river and its splendid 
tributaries, and because of its exceptionally favorable geographical position, these grand 
waterways are, and always will be, available to its highest commercial interests. They 
cross every degree of latitude within the vast dominions of the United States, with the single 
exception of Alaska, and their broad arms reach from the gigantic, mountains of the West, 



SOUTHERN HOTEL. 

as well as from the more modest elevations of the Alleghanies, to the magnificent central 
stream flowing from British North America to the Southern Gulf. Comparison alone can 
impart a just appreciation of the tremendous magnitude of these rivers. In the aggregate 
they are navigable for a distance of over 16,000 miles, while the whole coast lines of Europe, 
including the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean seas, •are but 17,000 miles. The Mississippi 
River system is as long as the coast lines of Africa, which have a total of 16,000 miles, and 
more than half as long as the coast lines of the North American Continent, which are 31,000 


miles.

The uniform fertility of the soils of the valley of the Mississippi, and their 
unexampled productive capabilities, are without comparison in the world. Therefore, the 
valleys of the Nile in Egypt, the Yang-tse of China, the Danube in Europe, the Ganges in 
India and the Amazon of South America are of far less importance to the commercial world. 
While the valley of the Amazon is nearly as large as the whole area of the United States, a 
large portion of it is directly under the equator, and hence cannot produce the variety and 
abundance of food supplies that is furnished to the world from the Mississippi Valley. 



ROTUNDA OF SOUTHERN HOTEL. 


Within its limits there are twenty-two States and Territories, and because of its 
healthful climatic conditions a hundred millions of people could find renewed strength in 
daily toil and a superabundance for their support. St. Louis has a great interest in all of 
these interesting facts, because her trade extends to all portions of this vast territory. A 
large portion of this great valley is still inaccessible to railways, and therefore the water lines 
are of special advantage to the commerce of St. Louis. They always remain open to traffic, and 
are unvexed by arbitrary tariff rates for transportation. On the other hand, railways have the 
opportunity to combine, in discriminating, either in favor of or against the commercial interests

of a city. It should be remembered, however, that no natural antagonism exists between the 
artificial means of transportation and the water lines, because they both stimulate production, 
and in its abundance they both serve to reduce the rates of freight and open new markets, while 
their earnings correspondingly increase. They are both important and necessary factors in 
the settlement and development of a country, and through the existence of both an oppressive 
monopoly in transportation rates is avoided.

Since water lines of traffic are the free and original highways of the people, to be 
used at all times for the movement of their productions to market, it is the duty as well as 
the highest policy of the Government to make liberal appropriations for their improvement. 
They have the enforced right of way from the mountains to the sea. They are an original 
part of the continent itself, and created for traffic as well as drainage and water supply. 
Coming as an unbought gift from nature, their improvement is not only a wise and economic 
policy, but adds an increased value to a whole country, in the ratio of farm improvements to 
the personal wealth of their owners.

Thus far these improvements have been entirely inadequate to the growing demands 
of production and trade, and compelled the commerce of the nation to accept the more 
expensive means of traffic by rail. These considerations are forceful in their application to the 
expanding conditions of the Mississippi Valley, and urge upon Congress, even without 
argument, the need for more liberal appropriations for the benefit of our magnificent system 
of waterways.

A single illustration will serve to show the importance and immediate benefits of such 
a polic}'. The four States of Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska produce annually 
over one thousand million bushels of the cereal crops, which can be moved to tide water by 
the river system, when properly improved, at a saving of five cents per bushel, in* 
comparison with transportation by rail. This exhibits an accretion of $50,000,000 yearly 
to the wealth of these four States alone. Other comparisons are of relative value, but the 
limits of this work do not permit their presentation. Nor is there space to tabulate the 
whole river system, and show the navigable length of the various streams that flow into the 
mighty Mississippi and onward to the Gulf.

THE RAILWAY SYSTEH OF ST. LOUIS. 

The discovery of steam as a motive power has practically revolutionized the means of 
transportation, and yet it is only supplementary to the facilities of waterways. In that 
connection its overshadowing importance may properly be considered. If the seeming 
incongruity of the “child being father to the man” can be sustained by poetic philosophy, 
it will require little stretch of reasoning to establish the great fact that railways possess 



GENL. GRANT'S OLD HOME. 


a fatherhood to modern transportation. If in their infancy they only supplemented water 
lines of traffic, in their rapid growth and expansion they have reversed that position. 
Instead of being a simple invention, they are the enforced product of a wondrous commercial 
era, unparalleled in the history of the nations. They struggled into existence like all other 
great discoveries, with the additional force of a vigorous industrial and progressive civilization 
to push them forward.

They exist simply in response to a demand, an overpowering necessity of the age, 
and not as a temporary convenience. While railways are of comparatively recent origin, they 
did not find their way into the vast empire of the transmississippi regions until they had 
become the familiar servants of commerce in the Atlantic States. 

They had crossed the great river into the country originally known as the Louisiana 
Territory, but a few years prior to the late war, and were slowly making their way towards 
a few points upon the verge of civilization. St. Louis had been touched by this invigorating 



CHOUTEAU'S POND, 1850. 


force of commerce, but west of the river there were few towns or cities that felt the energizing 
thrill of that modern commercial agency. After the termination of the unhappy conflict 
between the States, the construction of railways in the West and Southwest was rapid. New 
fields of industry were opened to immigration, and cities and towns multiplied as rapidly as 
the rich and fertile lands were placed under cultivation. 

A few years, and the mountains were crossed and the oceans were united with iron 
rails. From that time onward St. Louis commanded its position as the center of commerce, 
as it was already the territorial center of the Mississippi Valley. These iron arms have

continued to extend in every direction until they embrace a country larger and richer 
in its productions than any other in the world. A historical review leading up to that grand 
result would read like a commercial and industrial epic, but a treatment of present 
advantageous conditions and prospects is the practical and valuable story of 1893. Even that 
must necessarily be summarized, for in this swift age only the facts can be utilized. 

Diverging from St. Louis there are now eighteen lines of railroads, to which may be 
added six other lines that find terminal facilities in this city over trackage secured from lines

and the main narrative as to the localitv of the old fortifications. 


cities in this country in the number of roads centering at that point with twenty-three lines, 
and the great city of New York has only fourteen roads, it will be observed that St. Louis is 
far advanced in the admirable facilities of transportation, and, with the necessary addition of 
new lines, will soon outstrip the world as a railway center. 

These advantages show the importance and magnitude of its commercial operations, 
not alone in the facilities of transportation, but in the earning ability of these railroads. 
Their aggregate amount of traffic to and from this city maintains a high valuation of their 
stock capital, and evidences a degree of prosperity that is shared by the city and roads alike.

In this connection the matter of terminal facilities finds an appropriate place. They 
are quite as essential to the economical handling of freight, as the roads are for its rapid 
transportation. This subject also involves the transfer over the river, which has been 
amply provided for in the completion of the Merchants’ Bridge, and an elevated line of road 
along the river front to a terminal point between Eighth and Twelfth streets on Gratiot street. 
That splendid and enduring structure originated with the merchants of St. Louis, and operates 
as a competitor to the great Eads Bridge. 

With these important means of transfer across the river there remains a discrimina¬ 
tion of charges on through freight over the Eads Bridge, which is known as the “bridge

arbitrary.’’ It is one of those exceptional phases of railroading that ignores St. Louis as a 
terminal point for all east and west business. The readjustment of through rates and the 
absorption of the “arbitrary,’’ are matters of great interest to the merchants of this city. 
They are united in their demand for this reform, and sooner or later that concession to the 
commercial interests of this city must be made. The “arbitrary” is unreasonable as it is 
unjust, and can have but one termination, which will abolish an expensive fiction and 
establish St. Louis as a terminal point. 

For many years the merchants of this city have suffered inconvenience and discrimi¬ 
nation for the want of adequate and proper terminal facilities. In a large measure these

obstacles have already been removed, and will be entirely so at an early day. The Belt road 
in Hast St. Louis, for the transfer of cars from one line to another, has been perfected, and 
forms a comprehensive and economical system to accomplish that end. The St. Louis 
Transfer Railroad Company has been formed for like purposes, and to be operated on the 
west side of the river. That connecting line, now nearly completed, extends along the river 
front so far as is practicable, and upon other streets, from the city water works in the north 
part of the city, to Arsenal street as the southern terminal. Both of these systems connect 
with the bridge approaches, upon either side of the river, and also with the Union Depot. 



GOVERNMENT HOUSE, 1765. 


The construction of the grand Union Depot, to cost not less than one million of dollars, 
is now progressing, and it is expected will be formally opened, about September, 1893. 
Another depot of like proportions and elegance is in contemplation, to be located in the 
vicinity of the Round Top Market and Carr street, which will be the terminal from the 
Merchants’ Bridge. With these improvements, which will include ample room for switching 
and the handling of freight, St. Louis will rank among the best provided cities in the 
country, in the magnitude of its depot and terminal conveniences. 

The roads having direct terminals in St. Louis have a mileage of nearly 30,000 miles, 
and which is being largely increased from year to year. The auxiliary roads entering the city 
over leased trackage, and the unbroken connections made with roads traversing the territory 
tributary to St. Louis, would raise the mileage entering at this point to over 60,000 miles.

A brief notice of the roads diverging in direct lines from St. Louis will not be without 
interest: 

Missouri Pacific System. —The lines of this system extend through the States of 
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Arkansas and a portion of Texas, covering a distance 
5>°94 miles. Its management also controls the Union Pacific and branches, Kansas & 
Arkansas Valley, Little Rock & Fort Smith and several other lateral roads. Extensions 
of mileage are being constantly made, and new territory brought into direct connection with 
the trade of this city. 



ST. LOUIS, 1770. 


St. Louis & San Francisco. —The absorption of this road by the Atchison,'Topeka 
& Santa Fe enlarges that system to over 9,000 miles and connects it directly with the interests 
of this city. The Frisco line proper extends through Southwest Missouri, Arkansas, 
Southern Kansas, the Indian Territory and into Texas. 

Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. —This is properly known as the 
“Bee Line,” and operates 1,528 miles of trackage, making connections with all points in the 
East. Its direct connection with New York City is over the Lake Shore, New York Central 
and Hudson River Railroads.

Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis Consolidated— The main line of this road 
was formerly known as the “Louisville & St. Louis Air Line.” The system now includes 
the Belleville & East St. Louis, and the old Illinois & St. Louis railroads. The whole 
system extends 466 miles. 

St. Louis, Alton & Springfield. —The lines of this road extend from Springfield 
to Alton, and from Grafton to Newton. Only 105 miles of track have been completed, but 
work upon its extensions is being pushed forward. It employs the Bee Line tracks into St. 
Louis. 



Thus at a glance, will be seen the comprehensive facilities of transportation, by river 
and rail, that make St. Louis the largest distributing point and the most available market in 
the valley of the Mississippi. With such great opportunities to build upon, it will be 
easy to account for the character and magnitude of its chief commercial and industrial 
operations. These exhibit a wonderful progress and fully justify all of the claims of 
present and future greatness, a greatness that was not even dreamed of in the early 
period illustrated by some of the accompanying historical scenes.

SCHOOL SYSTEM. 

St. Louis has an excellent school system (and next to Boston has the most perfect in 
the world), which offers the advantages of education to all the children brought up within 
her limits. The public schools are conducted upon the most approved principles of teaching, 
while the high school offers to the ambitious youth the opportunity for securing instruction 
in the higher branches of knowledge. In addition to the public schools are the universities, 
colleges, academies and parochial schools. There are 106 public schools, 1,254 school 
teachers, with an enrollment of 59,700 public school children.

All pavements laid by this Company are kept in perfect repair during a period of five years from 
date of completion, without extra expense. At the end of this period, the Company is prepared to take 
maintenance contracts for a further term of years at an extremely low price per year, the exact figure 
being determined by the traffic and cleanliness, as shown during the first five years. In this manner 
the rapid deterioration of pavements which are not kept in order can be avoided, and a system is presented 
under which taxpayers can secure smooth and attractive roadways AT ALL TIMES during a long term of years.

NE of the surprises of the century has been the rise and development of Kansas 
City, which, like the domain of some feudal lord, occupies the bluffs and 
numerous hills at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. This 
city has become a giant in commerce and manufacturing within a decade, and 
has the possibilities of greatness that come from advantageous location, a superior surround¬ 
ing region, composed of the finest farming, stock and fruit-raising land in the world, as well

as contiguity to a field of exhaustless mineral wealth that has only been prospected, and 
remains to be developed into the richest producing section of iron, lead and zinc in the 
universe. Her advantages are almost unparalleled. Railroads center here, giving commercial 
facilities with the rich mining regions of Colorado, Mexico, Utah, and Montana; the great 
sheep and stock fields of the West; the fruit and cotton regions of the South, and the great 
corn-raising region of Kansas, Nebraska, Indian Territory and Missouri.

proprietor of this post was supposed to have beeu Pierre Chouteau, who, with his brother, 
was engaged in the fur trade. They were part of the party that accompanied Laclede, the 
founder of St. Louis, from France, and afterward became very prominent as traders and 
citizens. But the immediate charge of the post at Randolph Bluffs was vested in one Louis 
Bartholet, who was afterward known to the settlers as “Grand Louis,” in order to distinguish 
him from his son, who was then known as “Petit Louis.” 

One of the first white men, not French, to settle here was James H. McGee, who 
located m 1828. About this time record is made of a “ferry” being in operation; this con¬ 
sisted of two canoes tied together and propelled by the energetic and enterprising ferryman, 
who was none other than M. Younger, grandfather of the “Younger Boys,” who became 
celebrated as the companions of “Jesse James,” whose bold robberies and operations have 
become famous. This ferry crossed the river at Randolph Bluffs, and was well patronized, con-

. sidering the time. The region had been developing during this time, so that quite a number 
of people were located in what is now known as Jackson county, the count}^ seat being finally 
located, and Independence laid off in 1827. In 1833 the town of Westport was laid off. 
These two towns were closely identified with the early developments of Kansas City, and 
exerted for a time quite an influence. Westport Landing was a busy place, with outfitting, 
blacksmithing, supplying ammunition, repairing wagons, etc. This term “Westport Land¬ 
ing” was bestowed by the two more important towns of Independence and Westport upon the 
puerile city in derision, and indeed the exact site had been chosen simply on account of an 
excellent natural landing, located on what was then known as the Prodhomme estate, the 
owner having died about that time. It was located at what is now the foot of Grand avenue, 
Walnut, Maine, and Delaware streets. This decided the location of the city, and a company 
of fourteen gentlemen was formed, who set about to purchase the tract from the estate. They 
bought it at public sale, November 14, 1838, paying $4,220 for the tract that la}^ between 
what is now known as Forest avenue and Broadway, and from the river to what is now Inde¬ 
pendence avenue. The population of the place was estimated to be about 300 at this time.

FIRS! HUNICIPAL GOVERNHENT 


The city had not had any municipal government up to 1853, but a circumstance led 
up to the securing of a charter on the 2 2d day of February in that year. In the spring a 
municipal government was organized, and the city boundaries defined. The land embraced 
in Kansas City, according to this charter, was bounded by the river on the north, Summit

street on the west, Ninth street on the south, and on the east by the alley between Holmes 
and Charlotte streets. W. S. Gregory was elected first Mayor of the city, and served for 
a short time. In 1855 the population had increased to 478, and in 1859 had reached 7,180, 
the assessed value of property being $3,311,730. In this year the city expended $28,100 in 
street improvements, and had a very flattering prospect for the near future. Passing over- 
the period from i860 to 1870, now began the season of Kansas City’s greatest prosperity.

Eastern capital began to pour in this direction, seeking the opportunity for investment where 
everything seemed to double in a day. Streets were improved, hills were cut down, an 
extensive system of cable raihvays, the best in the country, were laid out and built, and 
great financial institutions sprang up as if by magic. It is doubtful if any city, save possibly 
Chicago, has ever made like progress in a single decade. If the development from 1870 to 
1880 was great, that from 1880 to 1890 was unprecedented, even among Western cities, 
where the most rapid progress has been made. In 1890 the population had become 178,544, 



an increase of 178.93 per cent in the ten years, or an increase of 447.29 per cent in twenty 
years. The same year the assessed wealth of the city was $92,663,015, an increase in the 
ten years of 592.60 per cent, or an increase in the twenty years from 1870 of fully 1,297.75 
per cent. In the same time the live stock business had increased in value to $4,986,955, a 
growth in ten years of 405.84 per cent, or in twenty years of 8,523.92 per cent. The 
development in the grain business was also wonderful, the receipts in 1890 being $34,283,400, 
an increase of 279.66 per cent in the ten years, and 3,206.02 in the past twenty years. The

FINANCIAL. 



Kansas City ranks as the eleventh city in the United States in magnitude of busi¬ 
ness, having wide commercial connections both in this country and Europe. For the 
year ending with June, 1891, the total clearings were $462,577,380, an average of about 
$10,000,000 a week during the busiest portion of the year. The development on this line 
may be more distinctly seen and appreciated when it is known that the increase in the 
clearings during the ten years preceding were 743.15 per cent, and of the twenty years 
1,678.21 per cent. The cities now have, between them, thirty-five banks, with capital and 
surplus aggregating over $12,000,000. The deposits in these banks aggregate about 
$24,000,000, and their total resources are about $35,000,000. 


BUILDING IMPROVEHENTS. 

Kansas City has had over $50,000,000 spent for new buildings in the past five years; 
of this amount about $10,000,000 was expended in Kansas City, Kan., and the other 
$40,000,000 in Kansas City, Mo. The years of the greatest activity in building were 1886, 
1887, 1888 and 1889. The building permits of Kansas City, Mo., during these years, 
aggregated $10,393,207, $9,267,261, $9,667,431, and $8,675,465, respective!}'. These sums 
are the amounts spent for buildings alone, and do not include public works.

CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, ETC. 

With characteristic Western enterprise, Kansas City’s public-spirited citizens 
recognized the advantages of churches and institutions of learning, and have contributed 
liberally toward the building of magnificent church edifices, and keep a school fund 
that is ample in all its dimensions. The total value of church property in Kansas 
City, Mo., approximates three and one-quarter millions of dollars; that in Kansas City, 
Kan., amounts to $478,800, making a total in the two cities of $3,628,775, besides the 
\oung Men’s Christian Association Building, which is worth about $165,000. The 
seating capacity of the churches in Kansas City, Mo., is 50,685, and that of Kansas 


LATHROP SCHOOL. 

City, Kan., 13,845, making a total of 64,630. Even this does not fairly indicate the 
church-going population; those who have studied the audiences note that the evening 
audience is substantially a distinct.audience from the morning assembly. 

The public school system of Kansas City, Mo., was organized in August, 1867. 
The schools were then formally opened in rented rooms, which had been hastily and 
scantily furnished, and into these unattractive quarters the children were huddled 
together to receive instructions. A superintendent and sixteen teachers were employed 
that year, aud perhaps a thousand pupils were enrolled.

iN VISITING the Store, strangers are usually impressed with the fact that it 
I differs from any they ever saw before. The building faces three streets— 
, Grand Avenue to the east, Eleventh Street to the south, and Walnut Street 

to the west. The arcade, which extend around three sides of the building, is a very attractive feature, and is constructed so that 
visitors mav walk around the Store. The several hundred feet of plate glass show windows reveal to you the wonderful collection 
of goods, brought to one house, from all parts of the world. Within the building are two miles of counter and shelf room ; this 
fact alone will serve to illustrate the mammoth stock of goods the House accommodates._

During the school year just closed there were enrolled 17,451 pupils, taught by 
325 instructors unsurpassed as a corps by any similar body in the country. The 
public school property in 1867 was worth nothing; now it is worth $1,500,000, and 
consists of thirty-six handsome brick school buildings, substantially constructed, having 
all modern improvements, admirably adapted to the purposes of instruction, being well 
heated, ventilated and lighted, and capable of seating comfortably 18,000 pupils. 

The total expenditures for the fiscal year, closing June 30, 1891, were $498,425.26, 
leaving a cash balance in the treasury of $72,193.95. Of the $498,425.26 expended, 
$160,187.16 was used in purchasing grounds and erecting buildings, and $22,320 for 
past indebtedness, leaving $295,918.10 as the total outlay for teachers, janitors and all 
other expenses. 

The rate of taxation for school purposes is four mills on the assessed valuation 
of the real and personal property of the district, while one mill is levied to pay interest 
and sinking fund. 



BULLENE, MOORE, EMERY & COMPANY. 


The course of instruction in the schools covers a period of eleven years, seven in 
the ward or district school, and four years in the high school. No other system of city 
schools in the country ranks higher than the one adopted in Kansas City. For thor¬ 
oughness in the common branches, exactness of definite information, methods of instruc¬ 
tion, and a free field for individual effort, unrestricted by limitations, the ward schools 
are not excelled. The graduates from the high schools easily enter Harvard, Yale, 
Michigan University or Vanderbilt, without conditions. The high school is one of the 
fullest and most complete in all its appointments in the entire West. Some idea may 
be conveyed of the scope and character, when it is mentioned that 900 pupils were 
enrolled during the year. 















A Plain Talk 
0n Music 
Matters! 


As “music hath charms/' so have our bargains 
in Musical Instruments. And the instruments lose 
noneof their charms of music becauseof their charms 
of price. Whatever you may want in our line, we 
are in a position to give you better prices than any 
other house in the West, and will plainly tell you 
why: Because we buy in large quantities—have a 
larger stock than any other house in the city; because 
we buy direct from the manufacturer for cash, and 
save all discounts; because we sell on a close margin, believing in smaller profits and 
more sales; because we handle nothing but the best goods, which are always cheapest 
in proportion to merit. Our guarantee to do just as we say is the fact that we are the 
recognized leading music house in the West, and the oldest established one in Kansas

WATER SUPPLY, LIGHTING, ETC. 


The water supply for both cities is taken from the Missouri river, which, although it 
is known by the name of “Big Muddy,” from the detritus carried by its current, is yet, on 
the authority of the experts at the last Paris World’s Fair, the most wholesome water in the 
world. The cities do not own the water works, but a proposition to obtain control of them 



has been agitated for some time. The National Water Works Company was organized by 
local capitalists, but the leading stockholders are now Eastern parties. The original works 
were constructed in 1874. They had twelve miles of distributing main and pumps of 
5,000,000 gallons capacity. Now there are 140 miles of main in the two cities, pumps of 
37,000,000 gallons capacity, reservoirs of 90,000,000 gallons capacity, and 1,500 hydrants 
attached to the main for fire purposes. The system of clarifying the water for domestic and 

•’ - J f ~ ~ " “ 1 


manufacturing purposes by this company, is an original and unique one and has attracted 
much attention from other cities. The water is pumped from the river by means of a crib 
in deep w^ater, and a suction pipe leading to a main station at Quindaro, five miles above the 
mouth of the Kaw river.

THE RAILROAD CENTER OE THE WEST. 


One of the most important features connected with the present and future prosperity 
of Kansas City is her advantage of location, which makes her the natural railroad center and 
great distributing point of the West. Kansas City is each year becoming more and more 
important as a railroad center. That this is the natural distributing point for the middle 
West and Southwest has long been conceded, and now a spirit of willingness has been mani¬ 
fested to concede to this city her legitimate place as a great grain market. 

Kansas City already occupies second place as a live stock market, and is making 
rapid strides on all other commercial lines. It is the greatest station in the West for 
trans-continental business. All the lines that proceed to the Pacific, but two, the Southern 
Pacific and Northern Pacific, set out from it; and so also do those that proceed as far only

as the Rocky Mountains. Kansas City is thus the destination of all the Chicago systems 
westbound, and this fact gives it additional importance while affording direct communication 
with all Eastern points, while unexcelled advantages of communication are had to all South¬ 
western points by the celebrated Gould system of railroads, and with the immediate South 
by means of the Ft. Scott & Memphis road. The passenger departments of the various 
roads have for a number of years made this the Southwestern headquarters for their ticket 
and passenger agents, and nearly every road centering here has such an agent located in 
this city. The freight departments of the various roads are also represented by general 
freight agents, who have been sent here to look up the interests of their respective com¬ 
panies.

HANUFACTURING AND OTHER INDUSTRIES. 


During the last few years, and especially during the last year, encouragement of 
manufactures (by which only a rising trade center, like this of the Kansas Citys, has assur¬ 
ance of stability and continued prosperity) has been made a settled public policy by the 
business men any property owners of the community. 

Liberal donations of suburban lands have been made in pursuance of this policy by 
individual and corporate owners of sites suitable for factories, and generous subscriptions like¬ 
wise to the stock of new manufacturing enterprises. Several central power stations have 
also been established. 

Inducements like these have affected the removal of works from other cities to these

two, which, in respect to this common policy, as in all other business interests, are one. 
Numerous local manufacturing projects have been warmed into being by this policy also; 
and some that were languishing revived. 

The Commercial Club, as we have said, assumes the office of Chamber of Commerce 
for the dual city. That organization and the Manufacturers’ Bureau have been especially 
serviceable in this regard. 

The two Kansas Citys afford many advantages for manufacturers. The prerequisite 
conditions to successful manufacturing, indeed, are all present: i. A plentiful and varied 
store of raw materials, in the products of the fields, the forest and the mine, within easy

reach of them. 2. A cheap fuel supply in mines adjacent and in the competition of rail¬ 
road connections to the coal districts of the country. 3. An ample water supply. 4. Cheap 
sites. 5. An abundance of labor attracted by the growth of the two. 6. The unrivaled dis¬ 
tributing facilities of the city as the chief railroad center of the trans-mississippi region. 
7. The growing market of a region developing faster than any other part of the land, the 
region of the cities’ trade territory. 8. Favoring circumstances, like low taxes, large local 
bank capital and the friendly community policy heretofore referred to. 

Some of the advantages here cited in general terms, have been briefly alluded to 
already in this work, in connection with other topics involved in a description of the cities, 
to which they bear relation ; among these, for instance, the questions of water supply, rail-

road facilities and freight rates, improvements, etc. Our limited space requires us to 
close this synopsis by giving very brief consideration to the manufactures that the two 
cities have at present, from which consideration we may get an inkling, at least, of the 
manner in which these advantages have been utilized already. 

The manufacturing industry of greatest importance at Kansas City is packing; the 
greatest single establishment, however, is the smelter located at Argentine. This mam¬ 
moth concern draws its raw material from the mineral districts of the entire West, and Old 
Mexico as well. Next in importance is the manufacture of iron work, and after this the 
manufacture of building material, etc. Among these we may mention large planing mills, 
brick and stone yards, drain and tile work, works for the manufacture of roofing and paving 
material, and kindred industries. Among the industries of a miscellaneous character, are

works exhibiting the enterprise in production of a great and grand center of trade and popu¬ 
lation. Notable among these are the cracker, candy and soap factories, breweries, oil mills, 
wire and brass works, furniture and carriage works, clothing factories, printing, lithograph¬ 
ers’ jewelry, tinware, ornamental iron work, and other concerns which originated in local 
necessity, but, having gradually acquired a wider trade, now supply the demands of the 
entire territory contiguous to this point. The total output of the city is reported at 
$77,000,000. This includes the packing business, which amounted to $40,656,134; but 
exclusive of this there was produced $36,477,809 worth of miscellaneous merchandise last 
year, which is a creditable amount for a city of the age of Kansas City, which as a necessity 
of its youth, has devoted much of its attention to markets, jobbing trade, transportation and 
city building. Many of the lines now represented here would be greatly benefited by the

introduction of correlated lines not yet existing, but for which there is a good field and 
profitable business. To secure practical information on this point from men who are in a 
position to know best, the manufacturers of the city have been requested to suggest lines 
that, in their judgment, are adapted to the situation. They have the following, some of 
which are already represented, but not with as large a capital or complete an equipment as to 
fully supply the demand of the situation. The lines suggested are matches, blacking and shoe 
polish, cutlery and edged tools, rolling mills, flouring mills, sheet lead, lead pipe, zinc, 
stove boards, tinware, paper, strawboards suitable for paper binders and boxes, malleable 
iron foundries, brass moulding, starch factories, flax, hemp and linen factories, woolen 
mills, cotton mills, boot and shoe factories, candle factories, clothing, knit goods, wooden 
ware, glue, zinc etching, larger stove works, larger linseed and oil mills, mining machinery,

KANSAS CITY AS A GRAIN MARKET. 


The history of the development of Kansas City as a grain market is one of interest. 
The city became a market with the first surplus of grain produced in the country. In 1875 
three elevators were built, but the crops of that year were a failure, owing to destructive 
invasion of the Rocky Mountain locusts, which for two years left the country west of the 
Missouri river almost destitute of grain. This, however, marked the beginning of the 
market, for the destitution of the country made so great a demand for grain, especially corn 
and oats, that those who had engaged in the business found abundant employment in 
supplying the demands. The elevator storage capacity has been increased until it now 
amounts to 4,000,000 bushels. Two new elevators have been built and two private 
elevators which have been closed for a long time were reopened for business. A dis¬ 
tinguishing feature of last year’s trade in wheat has been the high price for which the 
Kansas grain has been sold here, compared with its prices elsewhere, and the same 
thing is true of other grains to a limited extent. 

Limited space precludes further mention of the many distinctive features of the 
“Gate City of the West,” whose growth and greatness is phenomenal.

^(T. JOSEPH as a commercial center has long maintained a leading position among 
the cities of the West, and her jobbing trade is the pride of all the residents. 
Despite many difficulties and adverse circumstances, this jobbing trade has been 
so developed as to assume immense proportions. The ample railway facilities that are 
afforded with all sections of the East, together with the unsurpassed connections with the 
great West, where the greatest demand arises, act ^s salutary features for St. Joseph as a 
jobbing and commercial center. Here capital has been accumulated in great quantities and 
the merchants have not been slow in investing in staple commercial lines. They are noted 
as being wide-awake, progressive and energetic, and have secured control of the immense

jobbing trade of the West, and propose to maintain this supremacy. So great has been the 
development in this line that railroads have sought to reach this point on account of its 
advantages as a distributing center, hence we may look for continued growth and rapid 
development. 

St. Joseph has been called the “Gate to the Rocky Mountains,” as well as “Queen of 
the Missouri Valley,” synonymous titles that she carries with grace and maintains with 
dignity. In noting the commerce of St. Joseph, we are struck with the magnitude and 
character of the wholesale trade, in which houses that are known throughout America are 
engaged. It is estimated that this trade employs between seven and eight hundred traveling 
men, who visit all sections of the Western country, from British Columbia to Mexico and 
from the Missouri river to the Pacific Coast. But the retail trade also forms an important

feature, being second only to the jobbing trade in volume and importance. Clothing, boots 
and shoes, dry goods, jewelry, tobacco and cigars, printing, groceries, machinery, wines and 
liquors, drugs, teas and spices, carriages, hardware, glassware, musical instruments, etc., 
etc., are among the various articles handled here by the wholesale and jobbing houses, and 
each year marks an increase in the volume of business transacted by the old established 
houses, and also the establishment of new concerns to meet the ever-increasing demands. 

The immense jobbing houses of St. Joseph rank among the first of the United States, 
and the volume of business transacted equals about $103,000,000 annually. As we have 
said, this remarkable exhibit may be explained by the exceptionally advantageous location 
of St. Joseph as a distributing point, together with the facilities of cheap freight rates 
afforded by upwards of a dozen railway lines centering here. 

Bach year shows a steady increase in the business of the various houses, and the 
figures given above do not include the value of goods manufactured in this city—which we 
will speak of under its appropriate head. It is characteristic of the jobbing trade of this city 
to give the local manufacturers preference in the goods necessary to supply the trade; this, 
of course, enhances the value of St. Joseph as a manufacturing center. It is a notable 
feature of the jobbing business that almost every house engaged in it has come to its position 
of prominence through legitimate development. Most of them were begun in a modest way, 
and success has been attained from the unrivaled possibilities spread before them in a field 
extending about 1,200 miles to the westward, where the productions of the Missouri river 
points possessing shipping facilities are in steady demand. 


MANUFACTURING. 

If St. Joseph is great as a wholesale and jobbing center, she is none the less so as a 
manufacturing point. The manufactories produce about $15,000,000 a year, and there are 
about $10,000,000 invested. Employment is given to more than 6,000 people, and last 
year $3,334,000 were paid out in wages. There are 158 factories located here, having a 
capital of $10,000,000. Here are glass works, pop factories, gents’ furnishing goods and 
overall factories, woolen mills, millinery, harness, cracker and candy, cooperage, canning 
factories, etc., etc. 

The flouring mills are five in number, and give employment to nearly one hundred 
people, and pay out in wages over $80,000. Their combined capital is $400,000 and the 
product amounted to $1,600,000 the past year. 

The brewery interest of St. Joseph is quite extensive. There are four breweries, the 
capital stock of which is $300,000. They employ sixty people and pay out in wages 
annually $45,000. The value of the product is $450,000. 

St. Joseph is most favorably located for manufactories of all kinds, the State of 
Missouri having inexhaustible mineral supplies, which are as yet but in the infancy of 
their development.

ST. JOSEPH, MO. 

























It is estimated that the coal fields of 'Missouri extend over twenty-three miles of 
territory, and the product is of the highest grade, much of it being the celebrated cannel coal. 
It is estimated that there are over 134,000,000 tons available in various portions of the 
State. This, taken with the vast deposits of minerals, cannot help but increase the popular¬ 
ity and importance of St. Joseph as a manufacturing center. There is also an abundance of 
stone, marble and granite in the immediate vicinity of St. Joseph, as well as in all sections 
of Missouri. The various buildings erected here are constructed for the most part of native 
granite or limestone and trimmed with marble from the quarries of this State. 

PACKING HOUSES. 

There are three large packing houses here that have developed with the extensive 
live stock market of the city. These packing houses have become a leading market for the 
hogs that are raised in the various sections of the West and shipped to this city as a natural 
business center. The combined capital of the packing houses is over $2,000,000, and 
employment is given to over 500 men. This industry bids fair to become one of the most 
important commercial interests of this city, and is marked by a large increase in the volume 
of business each year. The stock yards, covering an area of over 400 acres, have become a 
valuable accessory to the conduct of the packing business. 

They are used by all the railroads centering here, and are equipped in the most 
complete and satisfactory manner. The Exchange building, located on the stock yards 
ground, has cost $25,00 q. The packing interest amounts to about $2,000,000 annually. 

GRAIN AND PRODUCE. 

About 10,000 cars of grain are inspected in St. Joseph each year. The increasing 
wealth of the vast farm region of which St. Joseph is the center cannot help but be a factor 
in the development of this city. The wheat crop of Missouri alone is estimated at about 
24,000,000 bushels, which is valued at over $15,000,000; the corn crop of 215,000,000 
bushels, at 20 cents a bushel, would represent a value of $43,000,000; the oat crop of 
386,000,000 bushels, at 12 cents a bushel on the farm, means $46,000,000; the hay crop, 
1,950,000 tons, at five dollars per ton, represents $9,750,000; the tobacco crop, 10,136,000 
pounds, at five dollars.per one hundred pounds, $506,800; total $115,117,000—and } 7 et no 
account has been taken of the garden produce and the fruits of the orchard, the broom corn 
and castor bean crop, the value of which may be safely placed at $5,000,000. 

These figures, while representing plenty and prosperity in a general way, are especially 
encouraging to the people of St. Joseph, as the handsomest yields and largest crops were 
made in the western half of the State, a large portion of which is tributary to the city, and 
much of its surplus product finds a market here, and family supplies are sent back in return. 
Hence we are especially interested in these bounties of the soil, as they increase the 
purchasing power of the farmers, and encourage freer living and more liberal buying, thus 
quickening the pulse of trade in all its branches. *
